‘Flower Scale Armor Evolution: 100%. Malice: 45.’

“…” Sensing the progress of the Flower Scale Armor of the Evil Flower, Li Cheng颐 wasn't surprised.

As expected, this malice should have come from Meng Dongdong in the blind spot.

Although he didn't know what kind of psychological changes she had gone through, she should have completely eliminated her thoughts in the end.

‘In this case, permanent coma and death should also count as eliminating malice… That makes things a lot simpler.’

He calculated in his mind.

Walking into the residential area, he continued forward along the tree-lined driveway.

Li Cheng颐 suddenly recalled the two words Meng Dongdong hadn't finished saying.

Modification?

‘Could it be that she thought I was a modified person whose body had been modified?’

These days, not just anyone can become a modified person. Ordinary prosthetic limbs are indeed not expensive, but modified people are different.

This kind of expensive surgery that requires a lot of logistics, real-time maintenance, and the establishment of an extremely powerful firewall and neuron system is far beyond what ordinary people can afford.

Even capital companies are not willing to bear the cost of modified people easily.

‘So, why would she think I’m a modified person?’ Li Cheng颐 wondered.

The previous owner of the body had never seen a modified person in his life, because modified people are said to be equipped with special simulated skin, and their appearance is no different from ordinary people. Only when the modified ability is truly used will the difference be revealed.

After thinking for a while without understanding, Li Cheng颐 put it behind him. With the boss backing him, he didn't need to worry too much about many things.

The key now is that if the malice can be collected as soon as possible… the Flower Scale Armor might have a greater increase.

From the first confrontation with the human-faced monster, the Flower Scale Armor was destroyed together with the monster.

To the second time when he was attacked by a human-faced monster, the Flower Scale Armor was only slightly damaged and failed to hurt the body inside.

The evolution of the Flower Scale Armor has obviously strengthened a lot.

Therefore, Li Cheng颐 also has considerable expectations for the improvement after the malice is replenished.

When he returned home, his older sister had already gone back to her room to rest. His father was holding a kettle and filling it with water. His mother, Feng Yu Rong, was preparing breakfast for tomorrow, slowly picking off the old stems of a handful of green beans.

Li Cheng颐 opened the door and went in, glanced at the two of them, but vaguely felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

"What's wrong?" He was in a good mood now, not only had he adjusted his mentality, but he had also found a way to absorb malice, and obtained new blind spot clues.

In addition, Meng Dongdong's death had bought him more than a month.

He just didn't expect that while he was easing up, there seemed to be something going on at home.

"It's nothing. How's your work going? You've been leaving early and returning late these days. Is there any progress?" Feng Yu Rong adjusted her expression and asked with a smile.

Li Cheng颐 changed his shoes and entered the door.

"I've already found it. The salary is good, a little over ten thousand, but it's very tiring, and I often need to be outside." He didn't mention his full salary, so he could use the extra for buying flowers.

"Ten thousand? That's very good." Feng Yu Rong's eyes lit up when she heard the salary amount, and it was obvious that her mood had improved.

"Don't be afraid of being tired. It's already very good to find a suitable job these days. You should do it well, honestly do your job, and the company will see it." She still had that honest concept, but she didn't know that work not only requires honesty and hard work, but also more.

Li Cheng颐 didn't want to refute, and just nodded perfunctorily.

"I know, I will do a good job."

"By the way, which company is it? What's its name? We'll help you inquire about the situation." Li Zhao came out of the kitchen, with a slightly relaxed smile on his face.

"Hongjin Biomedical." Li Cheng颐 took out his mobile phone, pulled out an employment agreement, as well as various company certificates, and even specialized production products, for the two of them to see.

Syndra, in order to perfectly disguise, didn't just create an empty shell, but really established a biomedical company with products, that could operate, and even make profits.

It's just that there were a few too many people holding extra positions in this company, that's all.

The two elders carefully looked at the mobile phone for more than ten minutes, searched around on the search engine, and even found the company's online product store. Seeing the somewhat exaggerated monthly sales, the two elders quickly believed that this was not a scam.

Then they repeatedly asked Li Cheng颐 to do a good job, to work hard and steadily after finding a job, to study diligently, and keep pace with the times…

They babbled on and on.

In the end, Li Cheng颐 was about to get up and wash when he remembered the strange atmosphere when he entered the door.

Immediately, he asked.

"By the way, did something happen just now? Why are you both not in a good mood?"

As soon as he said the words, Li Zhao's expression changed, and he sighed.

"Let your mother tell you." He didn't want to say more and turned to the kitchen.

Feng Yu Rong also sighed.

"It's your sister, her spot was squeezed out."

"Didn't we spend money?" Li Cheng颐 was stunned. His predecessor’s sister, Li Cheng Jiu, was going to take an exam for a certificate called a Zhijiang (roughly translated as "Intelligent Machinist").

This certificate is very difficult to obtain, and its value is extremely high. The registration fee and exam fee alone cost more than 100,000. He didn't expect...

"We don't know what's going on? We asked your sister, but she refused to say anything, just threw a tantrum. Now that the money has been paid, the spot is gone... I don't know what to do..." Feng Yu Rong sighed wearily.

Li Cheng颐 was also silent.

He had a very bad impression of Li Cheng Jiu, but he had a good impression of his predecessor's parents. In some ways, Li Zhao and Feng Yu Rong were very similar to his parents in his previous life.

So, many times, he would naturally regard them as his family.

Now that the family is not well-off, and now more than 100,000 has gone down the drain...

"I'll support you when I get paid," he said.

"How much is your little money? Just do your job well, and we'll talk about it later. Take care of yourself first, and don't make us worry. We'll be satisfied." Li Zhao said impatiently from the kitchen.

"What your dad said is right. How old are you? You don't need to worry about the family's affairs. Just take care of yourself, and we'll handle it." Feng Yu Rong also echoed.

It could be seen that they still regarded Li Cheng颐 as a child, using a completely different attitude from that towards Li Cheng Jiu.

"Okay, I understand. If anything happens, be sure to tell me." Li Cheng颐 didn't refute. If it was the previous owner of this body, he would definitely start arguing, saying something like I'm not a child anymore, why can't I express my opinion if something happens, and so on.

But he wouldn't.

After resting for a while, he mentioned to them about his business trip tomorrow. Feng Yu Rong immediately began to pack his suitcase and casual clothes, deciding what thickness to take depending on where he was going.

They didn't finish packing until eleven o'clock in the evening.

He slept soundly through the night without any dreams, pondering the Flower Language ability and the blind spot clues.

He had never slept so peacefully.

The next morning, a phone ringing woke him up from his sleep.

‘This world is beautiful, the past is air, breathing will shatter it, smile happily every day, there are so many hardships, adding some sweetness is better…’

This song was once his predecessor's favorite, called "Beautiful World." The singer was Huang Bin, who composed and wrote the lyrics. He was a relatively small second- or third-tier singer.

He sings it very vicissitudes, very tasteful. The male voice in his forties has a feeling of being able to sing ordinary things as vicissitudes.

After listening to it, Li Cheng颐 also liked it very much, so he cut off the climax part and made it into a mobile phone ringtone.

Picking up the phone, he pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Cheng Yi?" A low voice came from the other end of the phone, "I am Song Ran. The boss asked me to accompany you to Tiamo Ge. My car is at the entrance of the community."

"So fast? Okay, wait for me ten minutes." Li Cheng颐's spirits lifted, and he quickly got up and lifted the quilt.

After a hasty wash, he took his documents, wallet, mobile phone, and picked up his suitcase. He simply greeted his father, Li Zhao, who was sitting in the living room peeling fruit, and rushed out the door.

Dragging his suitcase, he came to the entrance of the community.

The car had a rough appearance and was a black off-road vehicle.

The entire car was in the shape of a truck, with the rear half being an open-air cargo box.

The two square headlights on the front of the car were the size of a human head. In the middle of the lights was a honeycomb-shaped rectangular black cooling grid.

There were only two doors on the car. The left side led to the driver's seat, and the right side led to the passenger seat.

The sides of the car were also painted with some messy lines in red and green paint, the meaning of which was unknown.

"Let's go, get in the car." The driver's side window opened, revealing the face of a man with a sallow complexion and a crew cut.

"Okay." Li Cheng颐 dragged his luggage, stuffed it into the back compartment, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"This car is a bit cramped." He frowned slightly.

"Functionality is all that matters," Song Ran replied.

Only then did Li Cheng颐 have time to carefully examine this guy.

This man was very strong, his arms were almost as thick as an average person's thighs. He was wearing a black T-shirt, with a line of scribbled blue writing on his chest, it was unreadable.

His skin was a little pale, and his facial features were very three-dimensional, a bit like a foreigner.

Buzz, the car started, and the two accelerated along the road, heading towards the distance.

"The boss asked me to accompany you over there to help deal with any problems. It's a bit far over there, and we don't have many people, so remember to keep a low profile," Song Ran instructed.

"Don't worry, I'm so weak, I can't be high-profile even if I want to be," Li Cheng颐 replied seriously.

Song Ran didn't speak, but just glanced at him. He didn't think a person who could survive three times in the blind spot would be weak.

"It takes about three hours to drive from here. Do you want to sleep for a while and recharge?"

"Just the two of us?"

"There are also some company employees over there, but they're all on the periphery. You don't need to talk to them much, and don't mention the blind spot," Song Ran replied.

"Are you from Yi country, brother?"

"My dad is."

"Anything else?"

"My dad died, my mom abandoned me, and the boss raised me," Song Ran replied flatly. So he didn't want to mention his mom.

"Okay…" Li Cheng颐 was speechless. He had hit on someone's sad spot.

"Don't mind, I don't feel anything anymore after talking about this kind of thing so much. People don't live for the past," Song Ran said lightly. "The car needs to be charged when we leave the city later. If you want to buy something to eat or drink, or go to the bathroom, take care of it in advance. We need to save time."

"No problem."

Seeing that Song Ran didn't want to chat, Li Cheng颐 simply kept quiet, sitting in his seat with his eyes closed.

He could understand why they were driving there. After all, they were not ordinary people, and they needed to carry too many things with them.

Just on him, there were two guns and three magazines. A full-featured bulletproof vest.
